I should've taken a picture of the "cake" this woman upstairs left on my desk. When she came by earlier, she offered me some since she knew there would be plenty left over and she didn't want to bring it home.

Fast forward to just now, I return to my desk to find a plate full of crumbs, icing, and obviously forked over clumps of cake. Who the hell would offer somebody this?

I'm still taken aback by the whole thing. Apparently 30 year old guys are still going to act like 30 year old guys, even when they direct two church choirs- he also happens to be one of my best friends so I get dragged into it. To make matters worse, the club is owned by a parishioner at the church.

I assume you are a woman...so why would you contribute to the oppression of other women...?

I was a Women's Studies major in college. And I understand the whole system of oppression thing. I spoke to several of the women there last night. Most of them were in college. If an educated woman chooses to strip, that's her choice. It's no different than trying to argue that being a feminist means that you have to be a career woman. Feminism is about women having the right to choose for themselves and not to be forced into a cookie-cutter mold. I actually suspect it was one of the other women in our group that pushed to go to the strip club, as that was not the original plan- we were supposed to hang out at our regular bar and when I got there I was informed that we were eventually going to be venturing elsewhere. I understand that not all of my actions completely support the ultimate feminist agenda. And I'm okay with that.

Any tips on the Brazilian bread? What kind of flour did you use? mine were to weird. They were wet and dry at the same time when I was mixing them. When the cooked, the were all hollow

I came across a recipe last night that I'll be trying next time. Pćo de Queijo | Evan's Kitchen Ramblings That blog got it from the King Arthur Flour Blog so you can look at their step-by-step of making it and comparing flours as well. The tapioca flour I bought is from Bob's Red Mill. Maybe our resident chef can chime in with any tips or recipe suggestions.
